Cicadas come every 17 years. Which is the exact difference in time between the 2007 Rockies and 2024 Tigers.

Many times. I watched quite a bit of Dickey when he was with the Pack...that was a truly great offense but there's probably never been a less mobile QB. Danny White actually got within 20 yards of 4000 in 1983. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WhitDa01.htm

Me too, at the time, only Fouts (and Lynn Dickey in the same year) had more than his 4,348. (Marino first broke the 5000 yd barrier the next season.)

Five players. No Montana (for KC). Bill Kenney in 1983 was the fifth, The others were accurate.

The NHL off to a slow start in Utah, with their new team needing nearly five minutes to score against the Blackhawks.

Actually, that was a dated spurce, 224 have done it since according to pro football reference, the rest is still correct. Quiz: 5 KC Chiefs have thrown for 4000 yrs in a season...name them.

Fun fact: Namath was the first QB to throw for over 4000 yards in a season. 130 have done so since. None have been Jets. And none have been Bears. The week after Namath completed the season, the Indiana Hoosiers were in the Rose Bowl (losing to the OJ Simpson led USC Trojans, 14-3).

Coach killer Aaron Rodgers claims another scalp.

Mike McCarthy wastes a challenge, and a time out, on a fumble recovery, then is unable to pin the Steelers deep at the end of the half, keeping them from stopping the clock under 40 seconds and possibly making a FG then in a game that looks for all the world like a one possession game.

Zac Taylor needs to go. He ran the ball three times from the Ravens 38 to set up a 52 yard field goal when his offense had been moving the ball with little resistance all day. A bad hold later, and the Ravens had the ball back and two plays later, a touchdown. Coaching malpractice for someone who's usually thoughtfully aggressive.

Well, at least it's not as embarrassing as Alabama (though they took your team to OT. It's October 5th and my favorite college football team (which probably has the worst history of any P4 team) has not trailed this season, and my favorite pro team has not led for a second in regulation. Fun times (well, at least on Saturdays).

Gotta love the post counter (for total posts) advancing every 100,000 posts.

Up 27-3, facing a UCLA third and goal, PSU's James Franklin calls a timeout with 20 seconds left to go and the clock running. In a case of poetic justice, UCLA scores the TD and a 2 pt conversion.

Back to back shots give Brewers the 2-0 lead, bottom of 7. Bauers' shot was remarkable with an exit velocity of 80 mph, and a -17 degree launch angle, as reported on the broadcast using Statcast. It traveled 6 ft.
